Bowling Green and
WGGC (95.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. It is licensed to Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA, and serves the Bowling Green area of south-central and west-central Kentucky. The station is currently owned by Heritage Communications, Inc.
Its transmitter is located in northern Allen County on Kentucky Route 101 near the Warren/Allen County line. Its broadcasting studio is located at 1727 US 31W Bypass in Bowling Green.
The station's application history dates back to 1959-60, when the call letters were going to be WKAY-FM to match with WKAY-AM, but the WGGC call letters were assigned by the FCC in July 1960. Originally licensed to and located in Glasgow, Kentucky, the station first signed on the air in 1961 under ownership of Glasgow Broadcasting Company (now Heritage Communications, Inc.), which also owned WKAY-AM radio (now WCLU-AM). At the time of its inception, WGGC was the first FM radio station ever to sign on in south central Kentucky as all other FM signals came from either Nashville, Louisville, Central City, or Owensboro. Both WGGC and WKAY shared studios at 510 Happy Valley Road in Glasgow (Kentucky Route 351, now Kentucky State Route 90), which was demolished in November 2014 to make room for a new drug store. During the first two decades of WGGC's existence, the station began as an almost-full-time simulcast of WKAY until the late 1960s. By 1970, the station was broadcasting a religious format, and later a gospel music, and eventually began broadcasting their country music format in 1975-76.
